But there is some horseback riding east,
and there art plenty of buggies south and
west. And while riding is perhaps slowly
but none the less certainly decreasing west
and south, it is as surely coming into favor
again in the east.
But it is only the well to do-in the cities,
the wealthy-who can afford horseback exer-
cisc east. A poor man in an eastern city who
would keep Il horse solely for saddle use
would be bothered to find the wherewith to
pay flis butcher and his baker and his gas
man. And if he keep horse for business
purposes he will drive him, of course, and a
horse that is steadily driven is unfit to be
ridden.
ats English to ride" however, and so all
swelllom in the cities rides. Hunt clubs are
organized, and tame foxes are chased with
bounds and horses. An eastern fox hunt
isn't at all like a similar diversion in less COM
mercial and less materially wealthy regions,
though. There's never more than one fox,
and it's a foregone conclusion that he will be
caught; that is, providing he can be got to
run; for the foxes that are chased in the
east are pampered animals that are kept and
Ted for months previous to the meet"

at Biddeford, Me, Dec. g. 1911, graduated at
BowdOin college in 1880, and was admitted
to the practice of law at Alfred, York
county, in 1884. In 1879 he was mem
Der Of the legislature, and In 1874 was
appointed collector of tue port at EaStport,
which office lie held for ten years There
after he was member of the legislature and
delegate to state and national conventions
till the war. In 1862 he ran for the legiSla-
ture as War Democrat and was elected
without opposition. He was at various times
candidate for governor and congress, but the
Republican majority prevailed against him.
From 1866 to 1850 lie was almost a dictator in
Democratic councils in Maine He generally
wrote the platforms, and in one instance the
convention adopted his speech rs platform.
But his most famous work was in lS1S-79,
when he recognized the divided Democracy
Of Maine, and though their vote for governor
was divided, under his management they Sc
cured the legislature in 1879, and that body
chose Alonzo Garcelon as governor. In 1880
he succeeded in combining the Greenback and
Democratic strength in favor OF Gen. Hollis
II. Plaisted, who was chosen governor He
continued active till the close OF 1882, then
retired from politics and soon after from bus
mess He failed rapidly thereafter and died
Of general weakness at the age Of 20.

In the east the country roads are every

II they go horseback. There is much more
enthusiasm over trotting matches than run
ming races IN the east, and horses are, there
fore, bred for their driving and not their run
ming qualities. Those who want the exercise
of riding say that the bicycle is better steed
shau the horse-that he IS safer, doesn't cost
70 much and doesn't eat anything
In the west and south there are many bride
paths where one could not drive in buggy
Running is the favorite method of speeding
horses. The bicycle is still something of
novelty.

The great fad among eastern swells who
ride nowadays is the English method. 1t in
wolves the rising in the saddle of the rider at
every step Of the horse. And if the rider can
"show daylight" between himself and the
horse he Is considered quite English"
Whether the English" rider is as graceful
as his western brother is a question. And
the anglomaniacs of New York and Boston
have noted with alarm that just as they have
learned to spring upon their toes at just the
proper moment the Prince of Wales and his
royal mother, and Of course all the toadies Of
England, have fallen to admiring the western
style Of riding close to the horse practiced by
Buffalo Bill and his Wild West troupe.
But we shouldn't cavil at horseback riding,
no matter why the rider rides, for it's a glo-
rious exercise, and there's no prettier picture
in the world than a young gallant and his
"faire ladye" out riding ain the park" that
Is if they know how to ride.
